This edited book brings together insights from scholars and practitioners from many different fields to uncover the role of the construction and real estate sectors and how they align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It follows a lifecycle-based approach to the topic, addressing the design, construction, management, investment, and regulatory dimensions of projects in the area. It expands the reader’s understanding of the built environment beyond the design and construction phases, which enables the collection to explore the links and transitions between different project phases and uncover new methodologies that aim to tackle systemic sustainable development challenges. The chapters’ comprehensive coverage allows the collection to capitalize on the strengths and weaknesses of the building industry, highlight emerging trends, and uncover some critical gaps that need to be addressed to attain the 2030 vision. This puts into perspective the interconnected nature of the SDGs and highlights the importance of multi-stakeholder collaborations in achieving them.

Combining elements of sustainable and resilient cities agendas, together with those from social justice studies, and incorporating concerns about good governance, transparency and accountability, the book presents a coherent conceptual framework for the ethical city, in which to embed existing and new activities within cities so as to guide local action. The authors’ observations are derived from city-specific surveys and urban case studies. These reveal how progressive cities are promoting a diverse range of ethically informed approaches to urbanism, such as community wealth building, basic income initiatives, participatory budgeting and citizen assemblies. The text argues that the ethical city is a logical next step for critical urbanism in the era of late capitalism, characterised by divisive politics, burgeoning inequality, widespread technology-induced disruptions to every aspect of modern life and existential threats posed by climate change, sustainability imperatives and pandemics. Engaging with their communities in meaningful ways and promoting positive transformative change, ethical cities are well placed to deliver liveable and sustainable places for all, rather than only for wealthy elites. Likewise, the aftermath of shocks such as the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic reveals that cities that are not purposeful in addressing inequalities, social problems, unsustainability and corruption face deepening difficulties. Readers from across physical and social sciences, humanities and arts, as well as across policy, business and civil society, will find that the application of ethical principles is key to the pursuit of socially inclusive urban futures and the potential for cities and their communities to emerge from or, at least, ameliorate a diverse range of local, national and global challenges.

Securing a sustainable supply chain is crucial for business and the future of humanity. Intending to lower waste and carbon emissions, businesses are investing more money in sustainability efforts. However, sustainability measures that might save costs, improve forecasting, and optimize business operations are frequently disregarded, especially during the post-pandemic era. The Handbook of Research on Designing Sustainable Supply Chains to Achieve a Circular Economy analyzes various approaches and strategies for developing sustainable supply chain capabilities to achieve circular economies; builds and develops models, frameworks, and theoretical concepts by focusing on the role of a sustainable supply chain leading to a circular economy; and provides a platform where new concepts and plans for managing sustainable supply chains in the post-pandemic era with the aid of Industry 4.0 as enablers are discussed. Covering key topics such as tourism, healthcare, transportation, and governance, this major reference work is ideal for industry professionals, government officials, business owners, managers, entrepreneurs, policymakers, scholars, researchers, academicians, instructors, and students.
